Irish DL Aaron Lynch rumors
h/t to Leaders and Best who mentioned it in a thread below.
I did a little digging on twitter and found this article saying that Aaron Lynch was absent from an Irish practice after leaving campus to go back to Ohio for "personal reasons".
Apparently he was involved in a brawl in practice, and subsequently "excused" from that practice. It's unclear whether that brawl was a factor in his departure.
Big BIG loss for the Irish if this goes anywhere...he led them in sacks last season as a true frosh.
He was fighting? Like he was really angry? Yes that is unacceptable on the Notre Dame football team.
Clearly, hot heads are not welcome in South Bend. /s
Maybe Lynch was just hawngry. Low blood sugar levels can do strange things.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Seems like something that will blow over quickly, though.
Only ND could take a non-story like this and make it look like a negative for their program.
Gives a new dimension to the term 'fighting' Irish... hah hah... hah...
... I'll go ahead and neg myself.
Mother moved to Ohio after he enrolled at ND. I am guessing the Ohio transfer rumors probably started after Urban Meyer took the Ohio job because he recruited Lynch while at Florida, but that is just my own speculation.
huh... you're right, his rivals profile says he's from coral coast florida..

maybe his family moved closer so they could watch him play?
But his mother moved to Ohio.
Am I the only one who finds it weird that a DL is wearing #19?
Who cares? It says he's expected back Monday. Not much of a story.
saying that rumors of transfer or quit are not true. In fact, the article says the fight was not a factor in his absence - he's left to take care of personal matters. This happens.
The article said the reason for his absence was "unclear" and that the fight may or may not have been a part of it.
the original read: "That episode, based on Kelly's assessment Wednesday, apparently was not a factor in the absence Wednesday."
Now they're saying it's unclear. Which means they don't have any idea. What is consistent in both is quote from Kelly saying he was excused for personal reasons.
So you leave practice and go home after a fight with teammates? What exactly is going on in South Bend? Usually if a fight breaks out, you squash it and keep going. Doesn't make sense unless it was really bad and he was forced to leave. Even if that is the case you dont skip town, stick around and make it right it's Wednesday not Friday.
OT: TomVH is saying something about another change of plans for Mathis? Anybody know if his visit is back on?
Rivals just put out an article that he will be attending.
